Sounds like a 30 Labbed Bravo 1 is what you need. Have a RH 30 BB Labed in perfect shape in the garage. Ran it on a 30 Activator with a 600SCI. Was the perfect prop on that boat. Sold the boat. Also have a 30 RH Bravo non labbed in great shape. Haven't gotten around listing. $600 labbed and $300 stock if you are interested

Testing props will show you bad results with stock 32. Labbed a bit better but still blow out and need more diameter to work correct. Angle doesn't work well with diameter.

Would love to hear the reasoning for this. I run a set of stock 32 Bravos on my Fountain. were the factory props. and they perform well and handle well, I do have two sets of labbed 5 blades, BBlades custom one offs and a set of ThrottleUp Hydromotives, both of which do have an edge on the Bravos, but the Bravos never fail to perform well. Boat runs 90 with the out of the box Bravos.

What do you feel is the problem with the 32's? I have heard that the 34's can be a bit to get a handle on, but never the 32's.

Your x dimension must be higher than most bravo to utilize 32.
